If I were in Cooks situation I don't know what I would do. Change my policies because of terror in my country? Or not bother with it because it will violate our policy and we would have to make all phones the same. FBI will have access to anyone's iPhones at any time. This may lead to a decline in customers, increase in supply, and no money for the business. Although Apple has changed their policies for pop star Taylor Swift, why can't they change it for the government. According to the Washington Post, the company did not want to be shamed by Taylor Swift. I guess that's worst than the government?

If the FBI gets there way then it violates the security and privacy of its users. Apple does feel as though this "backdoor" opens doors for hackers as well. If Apple were to get their way then they only will get criticized for not feeling for those who have lost their lives in "terrorist attack". According to the privacy act "Amid the passage of open meetings and open records laws, the federal government also recognized a citizen’s right to avoid improper distribution of data it keeps about them. The 1974 Privacy Act also allows citizens to find out what information the government keeps on them, primarily in order to ensure its accuracy." This is interesting because it may seem as the FBI may seem to say we help you out by giving you what you need, so can we get what it is that we want? This idea may seem crazy, but there are many scandalous activities and negotiations that take place behind all of these big businesses.
